Law Seminars International is pleased to present a one-hour expert analysis by phone to address Washington’s landmark new law requiring environmental disclosures in commercial real estate transactions.
Passed on June 10, 2010, the new law requires that sellers of commercial real estate supply a completed disclosure form detailing any previous “environmental conditions” to any prospective buyers prior to concluding a commercial property transaction. The first of its kind in the nation, the new law was implemented in an effort to clarify prevailing disclosure requirements that have been known to make transactions more complex.
In this one-hour TeleBriefing, our distinguished panel of experts will discuss the new “Form 17 – Commercial” and the 2010 amendments to RCW 64.06 that created it, the origins of “Form 17″ and its progeny, as well as the likely continued role of the legislature in seller disclosure in real estate transactions.

The recent Federal Circuit ruling in Stauffer v. Brooks Brothers reaffirmed standing for qui tam plaintiffs under 35 U.S.C. Section 292. Coming in the wake of Forest Group v. Bon Tool, which opened the door to potentially large false marking penalties by imposing fines on a per article basis, and Pequignot v. Solo Cup, which addressed the burden of proof required to prove intent to deceive under the false marking statute, the Staufferdecision marks the latest in a string of important recent false patent marking decisions.
